Alien Earth Breakdown, Star Wars vs Xenomorphs, and Who Should Direct a Star Wars Movie
Description
This week’s episode delivered big ideas, horror vibes, and a creature crossover that no one asked for—but everyone needed. We kicked things off with Ask Us Anything, featuring a standout question: who would we want to direct a Star Wars movie, and during what timeline? Matt and Nick had very different picks with totally opposite directing styles, which led to a great debate.
Matt then reviewed the new horror film Weapons from Zack Cregger. He found it to be well-made and tense, though maybe a bit overhyped compared to the buzz from fans and critics.
Next came our deep dive into the first two episodes of Alien Earth (Neverland and Mr. October). We were impressed with the tone, storytelling, and pacing. However, we also called out a few continuity issues when compared to Prometheusand Alien: Covenant.
Things got chaotic when we entered crossover territory, pairing Star Wars creatures like the Rancor and Acklay against Xenomorphs. Could Force users tame them? Which galaxy has deadlier predators?
We wrapped with fan creature matchups and the latest Top 5 Star Wars fan art picks of the week. This one had it all.
